Forget the strive for realism, FIFA Street 2 is a pure unadulterated videogame take on footie. It's fun, fun, fun throughout the game and there's a surprisingly deep single-player experience to sustain your interest.
-
Casual gamers will find FIFA Street 2 to be a fast-paced, fun and refreshing break from the standard sim-based games that EA is known for.
-
It's not perfect, but it's chockfilled with entertaining gameplay modes. If FIFA 06 is fine cuisine, FIFA Street 2 is a corndog and a coke and sometimes, there ain't nothing better than that.
-
75A significant improvement over its predecessor and is fun for solo players and small groups of friends alike.
-
Defending against tricks can be like a clumsy piece of physical comedy. When you aren't paralyzed, you fall flat on your face.
-
FIFA Street 2 is more a 30-yard screamer than a precision tap-in - often unpredictable and frustrating, but redeemed by flashes of brilliance. [Apr 2006, p.51]
-
70It's not a bad game, but casual gamers, and possibly hardcore-traditional-football fans, may get bored of pulling tricks rather than pulling skilled corners back on the real pitch.
-
I appreciate that they expanded the tricks, and added some real players to the mix. And the new Gamebreaker is nice. But overall the trick controls are just as difficult, if not more, than the first game. And not having online gameplay is a big big big issue for me.
-
70Soccer fans will find it boring because it's too fast and too vapid, while nonfans will probably find it little more than a mildly distracting ball-themed action thing. It's reasonably well executed for what it is, but it could very well be something that no one wants.
-
This is a solid buy for hardcore soccer buffs that want something different, and certainly a rental for anyone interested in the sport, but it's not a universal must-have like "NBA Street" consistently has been.
-
60FIFA Street 2 just isn't much fun to play, plain and simple.
-
With its combos, special moves and mini-games, FIFA Street 2 is the result of a beat-'em-up transposed on top of a football game. [Mar 2006, p.98]
-
60It's not a crap title. However, the sport of soccer doesn't translate as well as basketball to this arcade style of play. The fun factor isn't as high. This is partially due to the over-emphasis on tricks, which remove the actual game of soccer, and it's also due to the game's mechanics.
-
60Unless you prefer to perform soccer instead of play it, you're better off waiting for "Fifa Street 3". [Apr 2006, p.87]
-
What this franchise did to deserve a sequel I really don't know. [Apr 2006, p.118]
-
60Fifa Street 2 falls down in one vital aspect - namely the art of defending.
-
Looks good occasionally, but is for the most parts an annoying street soccer experience. Stiff animations and a strangely behaving ball really take the fun out of football. [Mar 2006]
-
50A better game is lost inside the presentation and ultimately fails to exploit the fun and potential of faster-paced matches, especially in the case of a sequel.
-
50The fact is that nutmegging an opponent a couple of times can solicit a quiet smile of satisfaction. But after the zillionth time, you will find yourself getting pretty bored with the whole thing.
-
50Bad controls, horrible voice-over (it's just as cliche as it was last time), and the trademark and annoyingly pervasive EA Radio will tax not only your brain, but also your ears. Soccer may be a beautiful game, but it's about time to kick FIFA Street 2 to the gutter.
-
Despite all the effort clearly put in to make it otherwise, FIFA Street is still boring. [Apr 2006, p.78]
-
50The artificial intelligence is improved and ball physics are much more realistic than in the first game, but while FIFA Street 2 makes a good first impression, it gets bogged down by unresponsive player controls and repetitive action.
-
50Like a cowboy at a punk concert, it's awkward and really doesn't belong.
-
47The best way to describe FIFA Street 2 is ordinary. While the game is not necessarily terrible, it is nowhere near fantastic.
-
Even after a sequel, this Street still falls flat on its asphalt.
-
Despite the tweaks to the game and some definite improvements, at the end of the day, Gary, it's a stop-start, often infuriating experience which just makes us appreciate proper football games even more.
-
38Irritating to the extreme, here is a game that deserves nothing but your complete ignorance. [Issue#139, p.97]
